To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JACOB Scz-rrossnn, acitizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county ofJefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Door-Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to door hangers and more particularly to thattype of hanger used in supporting car, barn and similar doors.

The principal object of the invention is to provide simple and eflicientmeans for holding the hanger against accidental removal from the trackand also in securing said means in operative position by oneof the boltsused to attach the hanger to the door.

Further objects of the invention will appear as the followingdescriptionis read in connection with the accompanying drawing, whichforms a part of this application, and in which Figure 1 is a frontelevation. Fig. 2 is a sectional View through the door showing thehanger in side elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on theline 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 represents the hanger bodywhich is provided with lateral ears 2 apertured to receive the squaredshanks of attaching bolts 3. The body as shown is constructed of anelongated piece of metal so as to produce a longitudinal channel 1 for apurpose to be hereinafter described. The upper end of the body hasformed thereon the semi-circular head 5 which covers the grooved trackwheel 6 arranged to roll over the track 7. This wheel is journaled upona pin or shaft 8 extending across the recess in the head and secured inthe front and back sides of the same.

Slidably mounted in the recess 4: is a bar 9 having formed in its upperend an L-shaped head 10 adapted to engage upon the inner side of thetrack 7 and prevent disengagement of the hanger therefrom. The bar isheld within the recess 4: by means of the bolt 11 carried by the bar andextending through a longitudinal slot 12 formed in the boss, as shown inFigs. 1 and 3. By tightenin up this nut the bar may be held in adjustedposition but in order to secure a more posi- Specification of LettersPatent.
